Chapter 114: Chapter 113: Daring to Pose as the Great General of Demon Slayer? Courting Death! (Please Subscribe)

Thud! Thud!

Four fiery horses galloped along the official road, leaving a trail of dust behind them.

At the forefront, Qin Zheng held the reins in one hand, his eyes intently fixed straight ahead.

Mounted on a demon horse with the bloodline of a Flood Dragon, capable of traveling a thousand miles a day without rest.

In just one day, he had led three Minor Generals swiftly from Lin Yuan City in Yongyuan County to within Yongan County.

Without any delay, Qin Zheng headed straight for Cloud Clear Peak, where the Green Phoenix Sword Sect was located.

A Great Demon of the Demon Saint Realm impersonating someone from the human race and infiltrating into the martial world certainly had plans afoot.

Therefore, it was better to arrive early and slay it swiftly, to prevent any unnecessary harm from occurring because of any lapse in time.

With this thought in mind, he made haste before the sun reached its zenith.

Qin Zheng and his party arrived not far from the foot of Cloud Clear Peak.

It was at this moment that they saw a dense crowd of figures gathered around the base of the mountain.

Although these people’s attire differed from that of Camp Renp, their clothes were indeed those of Demon Slayers.

Qin Zheng’s brow furrowed slightly, sensing something was amiss.

The message sent to Lin Yuan City from Camp Geng made it clear that the matter involved a great demon from the Demon Saint Realm, and they dared not act hastily, opting to wait for the Commander-in-chief’s Direct Disciple to arrive.

Yet the current scene suggested they had mobilized a large force!

Could it be that something had changed during the day while he was traveling?

The four figures swiftly reached the foot of Cloud Clear Peak and came into the view of the Demon Slayers from Camp Geng.

"Who goes there? Halt immediately!"

A Minor General at the Grandmaster Realm, using his Qinggong, sprang from the crowd with his spear drawn and coldly shouted.

Qin Zheng pulled on the reins and halted his horse.

At the same time, one of the Minor Generals stepped forward and shouted, "We come from Lin Yuan City, and this is the Commander-in-chief’s Direct Disciple, Lord Qin Zheng!"

The Camp Geng Minor General was somewhat skeptical, "There are five Direct Disciples of the Commander-in-chief, yet I have not heard of any Lord by the surname ’Qin’."

Qin Zheng dismounted from his horse and took out his Direct Disciple token, showing it in front of the skeptical Minor General, and said, "Who commanded you to stand guard here?"

The Camp Geng Minor General, though still hesitant upon seeing the token, figured that within the bounds of Qingzhou, no one would dare impersonate a Direct Disciple of the Commander-in-chief.

Therefore, he stowed his spear and respectfully said, "The one commanding us to stand guard here is Great General Shi!"

Great General Shi...

The Great General of Camp Geng, Shi Xinhan.

Qin Zheng nodded and then said, "Take me to him."

If this Great Grandmaster, who governed Yongan County, was also here, things would be much easier to handle.

The Great General was surely the most informed regarding the specifics about the great demon.

However, as soon as he had spoken, the Camp Geng Minor General hesitated, prompting Qin Zheng’s brow to furrow. His voice dropped a degree cooler as he said, "Reluctant?"

Upon hearing this, the three Minor Generals who had followed from Lin Yuan City took a step forward, their auras surging forth.

Something was clearly not right with Camp Geng!

Seeing their reaction, the Minor General hurriedly shook his head, and then confessed, "Great General Shi had a battle with the great demon and was injured, and he’s currently healing."

"He has ordered that no one should disturb him until he leaves seclusion."

"Lord Qin, this is an order from Great General Shi, and we are merely following it. We beseech you not to make it difficult for us."

Upon hearing this, Qin Zheng’s eyes narrowed slightly as if pondering something.

After a few moments, he nodded and then said, "Since Great General Shi is unwell, I shall not disturb him."

"Leave the great demon at the mountain’s peak to me."

After saying this, he moved to head towards the top of Cloud Clear Peak.

But the Minor General’s figure once again blocked his path, continuing, "I apologize, Lord Qin."

"The Great General has ordered that, without his permission, no one is allowed to ascend the mountain."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Demon-Slaying Colonels from Camp Geng stepped forward en masse, their auras rising.

Qin Zheng’s gaze suddenly turned icy.

"Audacious! Who are you to obstruct the actions of the Commander-in-chief’s Direct Disciple?!"

Backing Qin Zheng, the three Minor Generals stepped forward, instantly positioning themselves at the front and confronting the Camp Geng Minor General.

In an instant, contention arose, and the atmosphere on the scene grew tense.

"What are you doing? Step aside at once! Do not disturb Lord Qin!"

Just then, a somewhat weak voice arose.

The Demon-Slaying Colonels from Camp Geng, upon hearing it, turned to look in the direction from which the voice had come.

And the dense crowd parted to create a pathway.

A figure in a silver-embroidered Mystic Robe, looking somewhat pale, emerged from the other side of the crowd and began walking toward Qin Zheng.

"Great General!"

"Great General!"

"..."

As that figure approached, the Demon-Slaying Colonels from Camp Geng began to greet him respectfully.

When he reached in front of Qin Zheng, a trace of apologetic smile appeared on his slightly pale face, and he said, "My subordinates lack discipline, I hope Lord Qin won’t take offense."

After that, his expression turned stern as he turned to the Minor General from Camp Geng and rebuked, "Impudent! Apologize to Lord Qin at once!"

The chastised Minor General immediately stepped forward and looked at Qin Zheng, about to speak.

However, Qin Zheng raised his hand to stop him, speaking, "It is good that you are loyal and obedient to the Great General who oversees this county."

"Only... If the Great General before you is not your Great General, what then?"

The Minor General, upon hearing this, immediately looked stunned, as if he had not reacted yet.

Meanwhile, Qin Zheng had stepped out like a phantom, and with one palm he tore through the air, striking fiercely at the heart of the pale-faced, proud man.

Whoosh!

Boom!!

The man’s entire body instantly flew backwards, crashing heavily into the mountain behind him.

"Audacious demon! How dare you impersonate a Demon Slayer of mine, Great General! Do you truly not fear death?!"

Qin Zheng shouted coldly, his shoulder shaking as the Ghost Head Greatsword landed in his hand, and he took another step forward.

At this moment, on his Heart Sea, the Merit Scroll revealed a new line of text.

[Green Hill Fox Demon, fond of consuming human hearts, with heavy sins, kill it for a merit reward of thirty-two catties, four taels, and eight qians!]

This Great General of Camp Geng was not himself, but had been replaced by a Fox Demon from the Demon Saint Realm!

Qin Zheng’s sudden move took everyone by surprise, and some Demon-Slaying Colonels who had not yet grasped the situation immediately drew their greatswords to act.

Fortunately, the Minor General facing Qin Zheng heard clearly what Qin Zheng had said.

’Demon’, ’impersonating my Demon Slayer Great General’...

No wonder there had been some changes in the way the Great General had been doing things since he returned to Camp Geng. So that’s why!

Thinking this, he glanced at the Demon-Slaying Colonels who were about to move and bellowed, "Stop your hands, all of you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the group of Demon-Slaying Colonels stopped in their tracks, looking at him with confusion.

Roar!!!

At the same time, on the other side, a sharp beastly roar suddenly erupted.

That roar instantly captivated everyone’s souls, and they all turned towards the source of the roar.

They saw the Great General, his face distorted, his flesh tearing and quickly transforming into a giant Fox Demon!

Thick demonic energy mixed with evil aura shot up into the sky, sweeping across all directions, invoking an unprecedented fear in everyone’s hearts.

It was the fear of a helpless ordinary man facing a tiger, an overwhelming gap in strength!

The Great General they had been following orders from turned out to be a Great Demon from the Demon Saint Realm!

Everyone’s hearts trembled, and at the same time, they looked at the young figure with amazement.

They had been with the Great General day and night yet had not noticed that he had been replaced by a Fox Demon.

But this person, upon first meeting, had noticed something wrong.

Truly, as the Commander-in-chief’s direct disciple, his skills were far more formidable than ordinary people’s!

"You have never seen Shi Xinhan, how did you recognize that I am not him?!"

The Fox Demon howled, speaking sharply to Qin Zheng.

But Qin Zheng did not answer. With a sudden stride, he closed the distance, and the Ghost Head Greatsword, carrying the force of a myriad jun, slashed down in an instant.

If this Fox Demon from the Demon Saint Realm had impersonated Shi Xinhan, then the real Great General of Camp Geng was probably in grave danger by now!

And if a Great General guarding a county had already fallen victim to calamity, then these Great Demons surely had grand schemes!

Therefore, the only solution was to strike fast and hard, to kill these monsters as swiftly as possible!

Only this way could further disaster be prevented!

This strike split the air, overpowering all in its path, swiftly reaching above the Fox Demon’s head.

The Fox Demon, suddenly exposed and facing Qin Zheng’s decisive and fierce attack, had only one reaction—escape!

The creature swung its huge tail, and just as Qin Zheng’s sword was about to land, it shot out like a serpent, dodging the strike.

Clang!

The Ghost Head Greatsword clashed with the Fox Demon’s tail.

It resounded with an extremely crisp metallic ringing.

Yet the Fox Demon’s tail could not last long, and within a moment, it was cut off by Qin Zheng’s sword.

In agony, the Fox Demon screamed, and as it looked at Qin Zheng, its eyes filled with both fear and hatred.

But it didn’t linger any longer, instantly turning tail like a shadow, and rushed toward the direction of the summit of Cloud Clear Peak.

Its speed was so fast that it discouraged any thoughts of pursuit.

Even Qin Zheng at this moment admitted that his Qinggong was not enough to catch up to the Fox Demon.

But this was not an issue.

He stabbed the Ghost Head Greatsword into the ground beside him, then took a large bow in hand, nocking and drawing an arrow.

Immense power roared within him, funneling into his arms.

The bowstring, made of Flood Dragon sinew, was pulled to its extreme.

Then...

Boom!!

The arrow shot forth like a beam of light, tearing through the air, roaring like thunder!

In the blink of an eye, the arrow traveled a hundred zhang, piercing through the Fox Demon from behind and exiting through its head.

Thump!

A muffled explosion sounded.

The Fox Demon suddenly burst, turning into blood and flesh raining down.

The Fox Demon of the Demon Saint Realm, vanquished!

After completing this feat, Qin Zheng’s expression remained calm, without so much as a ripple of change.

He turned his head, looking back at the three Minor Generals he had brought with him, and said, "Stay here."

With that said, he stepped forward and employed his Qinggong, gliding swiftly like a swallow towards the summit of Cloud Clear Peak!
